Hospital Heroes Food Drive

WITH DOCTORS AND NURSES NOW WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK ON TESTING AT HOSPITALS, URGENT CARES AND NURSING HOMES THEY’RE GETTING LITTLE DOWN TIME AND LIMITED ACCESS TO MEALS. THEY’RE ALSO WORKING IN AN EXTREMELY STRESSFUL ENVIRONMENT, SHOWING THAT THE COMMUNITY IS LOOKING OUT FOR THEM HAS MEANT THE WORLD. IN AN EFFORT TO HELP MEDICAL WORKERS STAY NOURISHED AND POSITIVE WE’RE PARTNERING WITH LOCAL RESTAURANTS TO DELIVER QUALITY FOOD DIRECTLY TO THE TESTING AND TREATMENT SITES.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Buy a meal! Partner restaurants are being paid around $6 per meal which barely covers their cost. We need your help in paying for those meals. You can order directly through the form below.

Become a restaurant partner! We’re looking for more restaurants that can help fulfill orders and deliver to hospital staff. If you have a kitchen and you’re willing to prepare, pack and possibly deliver orders. CLICK HERE to signup on our restaurant request form. Donated meals take priority and we’re extremely grateful!

If your Covid-19 testing or treatment facility could use a little help getting food to staff please fill out our MEAL REQUEST FORM and a volunteer will try to get you on the schedule.

Deliver Meals! We need volunteers to pickup meals from the restaurants and drop off at the healthcare facilities.

We’re currently serving nurses and medical staff at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Crozer-Chester Medical Center, St. Francis Hospital, Einstein Medical Center, Christiana Hospital, Penn Medicine, Temple Unversity and adding more each week. Rob Wright and his team at Small Talk Media will be helping with the coordination along with our volunteers at the Trauma Survivors Foundation.

Equity strategies

Last updated: 11/11/2020

GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
